Chapter 4 – You, Whom I Ran Into
And 15 days later.
Estelle let out an inner scream.
‘I want to tarnish my father’s reputation!’
It was hectic. Of course, I had to get married before the summer was over.
Viscount Duran is on alert. It’s because of Estelle’s wedding preparation. It’s cold in the north, from preparing clothes for her to wear to preparing a list of dowries and gifts to bring to the Duchy.
“Why are you preparing so much?”
When Estelle, who was tired of seeing the list that was too much, asked, her father flatly said.
“Don’t be discouraged, my daughter.”
Thank you for the excessive love…. Thank you…. Estelle sighed, turning over to her sister, Jolie.
Jolie raised her finger and shook it.
“Do you know if woman does not have economic power, she will be ignored?”
Half of the dowry the bride takes belongs to the other family and the other half belongs to the bride.
She was grateful for her father and sister’s willingness to take care of her, but at the same time, Estelle was still very busy. Not only does she have a lot of dowry, but because Estelle is also starting to prepare the wedding arrangements.
Skin care and body care were nothing special. A big booklet from the north greeted her.
Archduke Franz Guiller was said to be principled, and he was. Due to the nature of the region, the northern part is busier in summer and autumn. It’s because they have to prepare food for the winter and repair the castle.
So, he couldn’t come in person right now, so he sent his servants to handle what Estelle needed.
It was a booklet summarizing the family and local characteristics of the Duchy of Guiller.
He also sent a box containing a huge amount of gold. She’s too busy to help prepare for the wedding and hearing about the gold, Dahlia sent a letter mentioning, <Princess Dahlia Political Fund Support Group is open to you!>. Estelle sent back only two expensive bottles of alcohol sent by the Archduke.
Anyway, it was really impossible to memorize the northern family list while lying down and receiving skin care. Moreover, a letter that had just arrived yesterday through an errand shattered Estelle’s patience. It was adorned with all kinds of rhetoric, but the main point was;
“I don’t want a lot of things anyway, so you just need to come.”
Estelle received the letter at the time she was choosing her underwear. The designer of the dressing room happily unfolded all kinds of colorful underwear in front of the pretty lady who was about to welcome her newlywed life, and Estelle was counting on what was the most conservative as her face turned red.
It was also hard to look at the underwear for hours.
She just couldn’t be happier with a letter saying, ‘You can just need to come.’
Of course, she knows what Archduke Guiller meant. There are so many places where the principality is politically entangled, and there are many vassals, which means that she should do it in moderation.
However, Estelle’s shame, embarrassment, and irritation exploded in the letter that unfolded in front of her underwear.
Usually, when an aristocratic lady does such a thing, the mother of the family or the elderly wife of a relative is bound to be with her. Unfortunately, Estelle didn’t have such a person.
Her older sister, Jolie, was busy working with Viscount Duran, and she was the kind of person who said, “Hey, just do it, that’s okay! Once you get married, it’s no big deal!”
Of course, Estelle wasn’t like that.
‘You know because you have been married! I haven’t!’
